Alvar Aalto’s distinctive architectural language is a defining part of Helsinki’s cityscape.
This architecture walk explores Aalto’s human-centred modernism through buildings ranging from Finlandia Hall to Rautatalo and the Academic Bookstore. What makes Aalto’s work timeless and iconic? The tour reveals how architecture, materials and human scale come together in Aalto’s Helsinki.
Join us to discover Alvar Aalto’s architecture in Helsinki!
The architecture walks are scripted by experts from the Architecture & Design Museum Helsinki and guided by museum guides with in-depth knowledge of the tour themes. The tours are part of the 2026 summer season programme, offering open architecture walks to some of Helsinki’s most fascinating sites.
